Candy Keller recalls the day her 3-year-old daughter, Jaime, sat on the edge of a piano bench with her legs dangling, singing ''Jesus Loves Me'' to a group of senior citizens including her grandmother.

''They were so moved by her,'' said Keller, remembering the tears that flowed from their eyes. ''Her song gave people something, something that touched them.''
